FUUUCK!!! I am not looking for sympathy, but I need to vent somewhere and somehow. I took a nasty mountain bike accident, and dislocated my shoulder, and broke my humerous (fractured dislocation - left side)). First time anything like this has ever happened to me.
Very painful. The doctors popped my shoulder back into place, and were going to operate (put a plate and screws in), but since it was such a straight break they said they couldnt fix it any better than how it would heal naturally. I am thankfull for that.
Anyways, to make a long storry short ... I was 3 weeks into an EQ and test cycle. I was just waiting for a nice kick to come in the next few weeks ... but instead I got this shit!! So .... I gave my remaining gear to a good friend (in exchange for some dvds since I am going to be a couch potato for a while), and I dont do anything all day except sit around in pain, taking T3s every 4 hours for the pain which dont do shit!
I wont be starting physio for 4-6 weeks depending. I am expected to make a 90% recovery for strength and range of motion. I am not expected to hit this 90% UNTILL 6 MONTHS FROM NOW!!!!!!
If you havent had anything like this happen to you ... its REALLY DEPRESSING!. I had mnay training goals set in this time that I am not going to reach now. Some that I may not reach ever now. I dont know what to do? Should I just work out legs and abs when i get a little better? I was thinking on maybe turning into a cardio-bitch for a while see how low I can get my bf down to? Who knows .. one thing for sure is that I wont be lifting any heavy weights with my upper body. I am used to being very active.
To all of you healthy ones out there, take care of your bodies and yourselves. I really took my health for granted before this happened. On the bright side ,,, i guess it could have been a lot worse.
Advice...
-Strengthen them shoulders up (and warm up good, so you dont end up like me),
-play safe!
-wear helmet when biking.
-for pain relief when hurt, smoke weed instead of taking tylenol 3s (honestly, I dont usually smoke, but its the only thing that really works). T3s just constipate you!
- drink wine to sleep, couldnt sleep because of the pain, but the weed and wine are life savers, (plus a little buzz to take your mind off the pain and crappy situation).
Sorry for the long post guys, just so bored and shut in!
Take Care guys
